By the time I was there they had made them take the sign down, so you couldn't tell it from anything else. I bought a mango shake there as it was one of those 90 degree days in Beijing.
A couple of indeterminate eastern-European origin walked up the building and peered inside and I heard the woman exclaim in her native language what could only have been "It's a Starbuck's!"
There are no Starbucks in Russia. I suspect there will be, but there is a Russian coffee chain that is just as ubiquitous.
We're off to Los Angeles the weekend after next, but I don't think that's what you meant. :) We certainly need to get out in that direction to somewhere other than the Denver area.
